THE NOTION OF THE SUPERMAN IN KAZANTZAKIS'S ZORBA THE GREEK

In his book Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Nietzsche shows the features of the superman and makes Zarathusrtra his superman. Nikos Kazantzakis projects the features of Nietsche's superman on the character of Zorba in his novel Zorba The Greek. This study aims at analyzing how Zorba is depicted as a superman by comparing him to Zarathusrtra. The study concludes that Kazantzakis's Zorba is a pure representative of the superman according to Nietzsche's criteri.
